CUFF-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 16, 1909.

Application filed August 4, 1908. Serial No. 446,846.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IVILLIAM S. ARNOLD, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State ofCalifornia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCuff-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to an improved adjustable cuff holder,having combined therewith cuff buttons for the securing of a cuffthereto; the object being to provide a simple, inexpensive, and anattractive article for securing the cuff and attaching the same to theshirt of the wearer, the device being of such a character, as to beeasily and quickly secured to and detached from the cult and the sleeveof a shirt.

To comprehend the invention, reference should be had to the accompanyingsheet of drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view, illustratingthe application of the cuff holder and buttons. Fig. 2 is a detailperspective view of the combined holder and buttons.

In the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a slotted extension plate, theslotted portion 2 of which terminates at the upper end of the plate 1 inan enlarged button openingas 3, through which is inserted the head and aportion of the shank of the button l, which secures the wrist sectionsof a sleeve 5. On the extension plate 1, is mounted for longitudinalmovement, a slide 6, provided with an enlarged button openingas 7, whichopening when the slide 6 is moved upwardly its full distance on theextension plate 1, registers with the button opening in the upper end ofthe said plate, and through the same is inserted the button A.

After the button t has been passed through the registering openings ofthe slide and extension plate 1, the slide 6 is moved downwardly so asto place the shank of the button A within the reduced slotted portion 2of the plate 1, which, by reason of the head of the button l, being of adiameter greater than the width of the slotted portion 2 of the plate 1,holds the said extension plate united to the button at. The slide 6 isso arranged upon the plate 1 as to be frictionally held upon the latterin adjusted positions. I

The extension plate 1 is closed at its lower end and terminates in across-bar 7, to the ends of which are held the cuff buttons 8-S, which,preferably are arranged at an outward inclination. In the present case,the cross-bar 7, is connected to the upper edge of the button 8-8, thereason for this form of connection being to permit of the buttons beingquickly and easily inserted within the button holes 9, of the cuff 9.

Inasmuch as the slide 6, is adjustable on the extension plate 1, it isobvious that the position of the cuff 9 may be regulated relative to thesleeve 10, in accordance with the wishes of the wearer thereof.

Preferably, the extension plate 1, and the buttons 88 are formedintegral, being stamped from a single piece of metal.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new and desiredto be protected by Letters Patent, is

l. A cuff holder comprising a plate having a longitudinal slot thereinand a con necting enlarged opening, the enlarged opening adapted toloosely receive a button of the shirt sleeve and the slotted portion toengage beneath the button head, an adjusting member slidably mounted onthe slotted portion of the plate, the adjusting member having an openingtherein of a diameter greater than the width of the slot butapproximately the size of the enlarged opening of said plate wherebysaid openings may register and the adjusting member with the engagedbutton adjusted along the slotted portion of the plate, and meanscarried by the end of the plate for engaging a cuff.

2. An article of the described character, the same comprising anextension plate, provided with a centrally slotted portion, whichterminates in an enlarged button opening, a slide adjustably mounted onthe extension plate and having a button opening registrable with thebutton opening of the said extension plate, and cuff-buttons, connectedto the lower portion of the slotted extension plate.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
